AUTOMATIC SUPPLY-'MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 653,091, dated July 3,1900. Application filed March 12, 1900. Serial No. 8,355- (No model.)

' To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, WILLY JAEGER, mechanician, a subject of the Emperorof Germany, an d a resident of Tempelhofer Ufer 23, Berlin, in theKingdom of Prussia and Empire of Germany, have invented an Improvementin Automatic Supply-Machines, of which the following is aspecification." I

The object of the present invention is an improvement in automaticsupply-machines in which by the insertion of a coin a clockwork isstarted which causes the supply of some article.

The improvement consists therein that all the levers of the startingmechanism are connected together rigidly and that one of the levers isprovided with the cup into which the coin is inserted.

In the annexed drawings this improvement the mechanism for supplying thearticles, however, being omittec Figure 1 is a front view of theclockwork with the new improvement. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of thesame. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of Fig. 2 along the line A l5. Fig.at is a front view of part of the operating device, while Fig. 5 showsthe operating device in the position in which the inserted coin isreleased.

The clockwork consists of a frame formed by supports and twoframe-plates 1 and 2, in which the main wheel 3, which is driven byaweight or spring device, has bearing. This main wheel drives a train ofwheels 4:, 5, and 6, the latter of which sets the flying pinion 7 inmotion. On the axle of the flying pinion is a graduated disk 8, which isstopped and released by the operating device. The motion of the wheelsis indicated in Fig. 3 by means of arrows. On the foremost end of theaxle 9 of the wheel 4 is a graduated disk 10, which forms part of theoperating device.

On the left of the frame a revolving shaft 11 has bearing. To facilitateits working, it runs on the points of two screws 12 and 13, the latterof which is inserted in a block 14, fixed to the foremost frame-plate.The shaft 11 is provided with a rod 15 and two hooks 1G and 17. V Thehook 16 acts upon the graduated disk'8 of the fly 7, while the hook 17is under the influence of the graduated disk 10.

inserted.

is represented from various points of view,

The rod 15, which may be adjustable upon the shaft, is provided on theright with an adjustable balance-Weight 18, While the left end of sameis provided with a horizontal plate 19 and the cup 20, into which thecoin is to be The cup 20 is attached to the plate 19 by means of thehinge 21 in such a manner that the said cup has a permanent tendency totilt over to the left, while the hinge supports it solely at its rightbottom corner. To further increase this tendency, the cup may beweighted on the left side. In the left side of the cup is an open slit22. The upper edge of this slit is formed by a cross-piece 23. The slit22 is made so long that when the coin 24 is introduced into the cup itis held back by the cross-piece 23, as indicated by the dotted outlineof the coin in Fig. 3.

The front plate 2 of the frame is further provided with an arm 25,slanting to the left, while on the front of the cup 20 there is a pin26. The balance-weight 18 on the rod 15 is adjusted in such a mannerthat it destroys the equilibrium, and the rod, with the cup 20 and thehook, assumes the resting position represented in Fig. 1. It then thecoin 2a is illtroduced into the cup 20 through a tube provided in theapparatus, the said coin will cause the rod 15 to oscillate tothe left,while the left end of the rod is overbalanced by the coin. Theoscillating movement of the rod to the left only continues until the arm25 comes into contact with the pin 26. This movement is, however,sufficient to release the graduated disk 8 of the flying pinion by meansof the hook 16. The clockwork starts, and very soon the graduated disk10 acts upon the hook 17, and causes thereby the shaft 11 to revolvefarther to the left--that is, the rod 15 is forced to oscillate fartherto the left. As, however, the pin 26 abuts against the arm 25, the slot20 is prevented from following the plate 19 unimpeded, and thereforeswings so far to the right that the coin 24., as shown in Fig. 5, isreleased by the cross-piece 23 and rolls out into a receptacle providedunderneath. Then the right end of the rod 15 overbalances again, andafter the graduated disk 10 has revolved one hundred and eighty degreesthe hook 17 engagesa step in the disk 10. This latter movement is fol--the left and assumes the position shown in Fig. 1. In order to preventthe cup from swinging too far to the right, the arm 25 may be providedwith a pin 27, against which the pin 26 of the cup would abut. Of coursethe graduated disk need not necessarily be of the shape represented inFig; 1. The curve may be of any shape, and it is suflicient that thedisk acts upon the rod 15.

Having thus described my'invention, the

following is what Iclaim as new therein and desire to secure by LettersPatent:

The improvement in automatic supply-ma chines consisting of the hook 16which holds the flying pinion 7 of the clockwork, of a hook 17 whichisraised by a graduated disk 10 in the clockwork and of a lever with abalance-weight 18, these three parts being connected together rigidlyand further of a plate 19 arranged on the said lever 15 upon which thecup 20 intended for the coin 24 is arranged,. and of this cup which isprovidedv with a pin 26 which abuts against an arm fixed to the frame.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twowitnesses.
